It is too bad that I am on the wrong side of history, and there’s nothing I can do to stop the universal adoption of LLM in all areas of life. People  say it’s just like the Industrial Revolution. But I don’t recall steam looms ever killing people, except employees.  

It is one thing to create a machine that produces cheap, low quality cloth, in such high volume and so cheaply that it replaces handcrafted cloth. It is something else entirely to have cheaper, lower quality writing, computer programming, management, customer service, art and medicine… replacing handcrafted human output, without human supervision.

At least someone looked at the product coming out of the knitting mills. Of course they never rejected it, unless it was knitting slop. No knitting hallucinations. No factory-made cloth ever told someone how to commit suicide.

I know for a fact that the statement “a human being reviews our LLM rejections” is a lie. A rubber stamp is not a review.

I submitted a piece of art to a vendor. The LLM rejected it because it “included text.”

I was told that a human had reviewed the LLM rejection. I cannot imagine how that is possible—except that the poor reviewer probably has to look at 100 pieces of art a day, staring at them until visual fatigue sets in, and it is easier to rubber stamp the rejection than actually think about it. It doesn’t cost anyone time and money… except me. Well, OK, not money, just time. And yet my time, even in retirement, is not worthless.
